Few questions about emulator configs

[stephenp1983]

Alright I've gotten a few configs for various emulators from the pinned topic, and I have a few questions. First can I simple combine all of the configs into one ini file? If so would it matter what I name it. Do I simple place the config file into the emulator config folder in the game ex directory? what about the ones that are already in there the zsnes and project64 ones do I just leave them along. Finally what do I have to change in the gameex configuration itself. I see a place where you can add emulators in gameex itself, do I still need to change it if i have these config files.

Sorry for all the questions just trying to understand everything exactly.

[stephenp1983]

alright I figured out all my questions pretty much, but I'm having a problem. I load up gameex it shows the NES and all the roms just like it should, but when I click on a game to play it just go to a black screen and sits.

Alright this is what I have. I fixed the nes and they seem to be working fine. I had to go in and change it to open up to full screen. Now I'm having a problem with Znes and gens+. Both of them display games fine, but when you try to play a game it goes to a black screen like before, but then quickly exits back to gameex.

Any ideas? Im going to wait and try the gba, n64, gamegear until I find out whats wrong with these.

This seems to be the most frequently asked EMU question in GameEx history.

COMMAD LINE: zsnesw.exe "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"

I can't begin to tell you how important it is to use the quotation marks in the command line config. So just make sure you do that for each and every emulator you set up.

I just check and the quotation marks were there, any other ideas? Just tried N64 as well, and its going to a black screen and staying like the nes was doing, but I've changed the settings in the project 64 like I was suppose to.

Post your GameEx config file and I'll have a look-see. I'm sure we'll get i figured out. The first couple emulators are the hardest to set up, but once you get that rollin you'll be a pro! You'll find yourself adding emulators you may never even play.

As they say, gotta crawl before you walk.

You have no idea how true this is. The first couple are the hardest because you have no clue what you're doing. Once you figure it out, its so easy to do. I orinally just wanted an NES and Sega Genesis emulator since I own those systems. Now I've got MAME, N64, Nes, SNES, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Atari Jaguar, Atari Lynx, Sega Master System, Sega Game Gear, Sega Genesis, Sega 32x, Sega CD, NeoGeo Pocket, and Visual Pinball! I've still got like 180gb's left to fill too! My next challenge is to try and get Future Pinball, Daphne, and all those CHDs for MAME. Then I'm gonna try the Gameboys, GBA, etc. Theres so much more to do, and I'll probably NEVER play them all! Hehe.

It looks like you sort of got the config thing figured out. You do not have to manually edit the ini files, at least I never have. Most configuration settings should be handled through the GamEx config screens. As for the black screens and being dumped back into GameEx, I would look in the config and see if debug mode is turned on for the specific emulator you are having trouble with. If it is, set it to no and see how that works. Also sometimes setting the show desktop option to yes will help for some emulators. As suggested by Adultery, if you go into your GameEx directory and open ShowLog.exe and paste the results here for us to look at, maybe we can help further troubleshoot the problem with you. Good Luck

ok

1) putting all the emulators on your desktop is a bit weird

2) test each emulator with command line before you try to start it from gameex. theres no point trying to start from gameex until youve got the emu starting, going fullscreen and exiting properly on its own.

your PJ64 config, youve added "" around the ROM bit... remove them.

[Mike_Fu]

One thing you might try when your emulators only show a black screen would be to set ShowDesktop to True.

Also, Smiff is right about the quotes on the command part. While you need quotes for most other emulators, for Project64 you don't.

Example:

For NES use

Command=fceu.exe "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"

For N64 use

Command=Project64.exe [ROMPath]\[RomFile]

Thanks for the tips. There on the desktop because this will be in my mame cab Im building, so I won't have anything else on there easy access.

All the emulators work fine when I try to load them without gameex thats whats so weird. So now the n64 is working after I switched it to show desktop, which is great Snes and gens still not working, but they were doing something a little different anyway. They load up and then exit right back to the gameex software.

[stephenp1983]

wow I feel like an idiot now On the snes emulator i had downloaded it probably a year ago, and gotten the config last night. I was using snes9x instead of zsnes lol So I download zsnes instead and works fine now. I feel stupid. anyway with the Gens one still not luck, which is nto a big a deal as snes. I still haven't tried game gear and gba which I'll do sometime soon I have to work today and the rest of the weekend.

If anyone has any pointers on the gens one let me know, and thanks to everyone that's helped so much.

[headkaze]

With the PJ64 one, make sure you have it set to go into fullscreen as per the instructions on the user submitted config topic here. You shouldn't need to set "ShowDesktop=True" if you have it set to go full screen.

I don't know a whole lot about gens, but if you want an emulator for the genesis and the game gear, give Kega a try. It's been nothing but roses for me since I started using it, and the features are pretty much unbeatable. Not to mention it runs SegaCD and the Master System pretty well, so it's just one emulator to learn instead of 4.

If you have been using Gens for a while and don't want to switch things up, I'll get back to you on how to get it working. I intend to install and test Gens tonite and I will post a config for you to use as a guide.

Hope that helps!

Download Kega Fusion here!

.:EDIT:.

I did some surfing looking for a command line option to open GENS in fullscreen and I found this in the forum:

...launch the ROM in fullscreen by default. This is NOT possible in Gens, only in Kega Fusion.

Quick Link To Topic

You'll have to do it manually each time you open a game...

GameEx Config:

ShowDesktop=True

Then, you'll have to hit 'ALT+ENTER' on the keyboard (or set it up in SendKeys option of GameEx)

Not to repeat myself, but Kega Fusion just plays nicer with GameEx.

Honestly I was using kega for awhile, and actually downloaded gens because it had a config on here. But now that I understand the basics of what the config does it shouldn't matter. I'll probably just go back to kega anyway as I've used it for a few years now. I'll try it tomoorrow and let everyone know how its going.

Also I'm looking on zophar.net, should I just get the regular version or the lazarus version. I know the regular one makes you switch to 16bit color mode will that be a problem

I'd download the emulator right from the homepage to get the most recent version of Fusion. I'm thinking the versions on zophar.net are a little out of date.

Note that I edited my previous post to help you understand why Gens wasn't working.

As far as Kega goes, I got your back if you need any help. Let me know if you wanna see the working .cfg files for the emulator and for GameEx.

Hope that helps.

Sure if you'd drop me a config file for kega I'd appreciate it. I'll b e at work from 7 am til 11 today for a stupid meeting, so I might not be able to try it until tomorrow. Also what's the difference is Kega, and Kega fusion?

Wow fusion doesn't require you to switch to 16 bit video mode which is great. I'll definately add this one in sometime today or tomorrow.

[stephenp1983]

Got kega working for my genesis/2 game gear roms. Any other sega roms I should look into getting like 32x or sega cd. What were some good games for those?

[hansolo77]

I'm using gens on my system and its the only genesis emulator I've ever used. I've never had any problems with it. There are some tweaks you can do to it's gens.cfg file that aren't available from the program directly. Also, I've noticed that some settings you use through the program don't save to the gens.cfg file after you exit. So I got around this by setting it up the way I want via notepad, and then making the cfg file 'read-only'. That way it can't get written to by the gens program. Once I get my computer back up and running properly, I'll send over the information for you Adultery, so you can host it on your config site.

Ahhh yes... Switching to a read-only is slippery.

I noticed you can make the program run in full screen through the config file but it would change every time I closed and restarted. I never even thought about the obvious!

Thanks in advance for the Gens .cfg. I'll give it a good home.

Yep, it was the full screen option that I noticed primarily that wouldn't save after exit. It's a bit tricky in the cfg file too.. You have to set the windowed to 0 and full screen to 1. And I think you have to set an option like "render window" to 0 and "render fullscreen" to 1, but that might be a different emulator. I think the BIOS file locations don't save either..

I was able to get it just the way I wanted it by running gens and putting in the mode, then opening gens.cfg while it was still running, then I copied all the data to another file. Then closed gens, erased the original cfg, and replaced it with the copy I made, then set it to read only. Hasn't given me an issue since!
